The Kfar Yehoshua train station

The Valley Train started in Haifa

Its first stop was the Tel El-Shamam station, right here where we are standing

A few years later, a moshav was built next to the station

The moshav was called Kfar Yehoshua, so the station’s name was also changed to Kfar Yehoshua

Seven buildings were built at the Kfar Yehoshua train station

The buildings housed the station workers: the station manager and his family and the workers who laid and repaired the tracks

After the train stopped operating, the station workers left and the buildings fell into ruin

The building facing you have been conserved

Many years passed before the old buildings underwent conservation

Conservation means repairing and rebuilding everything that was ravaged over the years

After it was conserved, the building looked like it did when the station was in operation

In 2008, the Visitor Center was established inside the buildings that were repaired

The Visitor Center tells the story of the Valley Train
